Although St. Barths has increasingly gained the reputation for being a glamorous island retreat, it has somehow managed to retain its quaint charm. Where the coastline stretches from lively, white-sand beaches to deserted, serene inlets and modern yachts are anchored next to traditional fishing boats, the allure of St. Barths remains timeless. Although opportunities to snorkel, scuba dive and sail abound, St. Barth's allure resides in its charming atmosphere, fine French cuisine and quiet beauty.
